The raids are being led by the LAPD, U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI. Task forces in Orange County and Ventura County were also involved. 

Authorities say today's raid targets people providing the logistical support to burglary crews. They are not only going after the actual criminals themselves, but also those who are supporting them in organized crime rings.
